Emovid
Emovid is a Seattle-based B2B platform for asynchronous, multimodal business communication - video, audio, and text messages meant to replace long email threads and unnecessary meetings. Founded in 2023 by former Evite CEO Victor Cho, it layers AI summaries, transcripts, and 60+ language translation on top of each message, and pairs every video with a patent-pending Seal of Authenticity that verifies the speaker's identity and flags any AI alterations - positioning itself as 'Verified Human Communication' in an era of deepfakes and synthetic media.

A Thiel Fellow and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Khan started his entrepreneurial journey at 16 in suburban Chicago, founding Viatask before connecting with Joe Thomas and Vinay Hiremath to build Loom through two pivots and years of near-failure. He now lives in New York City, angel-investing in 40+ companies and staying active in the startup ecosystem.
